Krehbiels Specialty Meats Inc operates at 1636 Mohawk Rd. in McPherson, Kansas, in McPherson County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M13149, P13149 and V13149, with a grant of inspection on file dated June 2, 2010. FSIS classifies it as a small establishment and lists activities that cover meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, poultry processing, and voluntary slaughter and processing for meat, poultry and rabbit.

Species reported slaughtered under inspection include cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, bison, elk or deer, and poultry. The establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Halal and kosher slaughter are both reported to FSIS. The FSIS slaughter volume category on file is 3.0.

Secondary listings describe the business as a small family owned USDA processing plant and retail store in central Kansas, with products processed in a USDA-inspected facility, and reference a store location and hours page. No website text was available for this record, so details beyond the federal record and those brief listings are not yet on file. Contact the plant at (620) 241-0103 to confirm current services.

The establishment reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals can be processed either for sale or for the owner's own use with packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, bison, elk or deer, and poultry. Rabbit slaughter and processing are listed under voluntary inspection. Halal and kosher slaughter are both reported. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, hanging weight pricing and cut and wrap fees are not stated in the sources on file, so call (620) 241-0103 to confirm.

Krehbiels Specialty Meats Inc reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

Secondary listings describe a retail store at the plant in central Kansas, and the establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. A store location and hours page is referenced on the business website. Specific cuts, bundles, halves and quarters, delivery, shipping and online ordering are not described in the material on file.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
